Does anyone know how much the rare ele mobs debuff your resists by? Trying to figure out how much I need to overcap to be safe from that +/- ele weakness.

Larry Parrish posted:Yeah lol. 5 automatic utility flasks when you have poo poo regen sounds insane, and it would be without auto-flasks. I need to get the less degen damage mastery and some max res, but I'm basically immortal unless a big hit chunks me, or there's no adds to feed my leech, life on hit, or flask charges. I can't afford it yet but a +1 curse hunter chest is gonna be critical I think to run the flask charge mark.

Chernobyl Peace Prize posted:Here's a very stupid question: Should I still bother coming anywhere near the resist cap before flasks? It feels like a waste since I can still just, hit 123 and have the huge resist bump from all my flasks, but I wasn't sure if it's something weird going on with how they actually interact with the game. And most of the video guide is just about setting up the flask system and timing your totem drops for single target. Dude I have like 20% base elemental resists and I'm slightly negative in chaos. Sometimes it's a big problem, because I die the second an elemental flask is off, basically. But my charge gain is so hideous that it's only a threat in prolonged boss fights where most of my charges come from the utility flask mastery, or in a nasty drought bringer situation. My resists with flasks and a random ele res suffix is about 160, which afaik is more than enough to overcap even when exposed by mobs. I think people generally frown on res capping with flasks, but it's mostly not a problem. The rares make the game so rippy that I expect to die once a map no matter what, so sometimes dying an extra time because of awkward timing or unlucky rolls is fine.

To iterate on my previous thoughts, I think Uber Maven is by far the easiest of the new bosses. I legit do not know if it's possible at all for me to do Uber Searing Exarch reliably because the SP server craps itself over. I think it's easier to show when it's helping instead of when it's not helping, so, https://i.imgur.com/qeCk0EC.mp4

If you have rock-solid defenses uber-sirus isn't too terrible. Surviving anything sirus himself actually does is doable. My build can eat his beams all day and actually gain ES by doing it. The major ways to die are 1) Getting surprised by the mid-fight storms in the phases prior to the last. 2) Failing the meteor (easy to fail in the lase phase) and not blocking it. The maze is much harder in uber mode. 3) Standing in all of the sometimes hard to see ground degen in the last phase. Filthy Monkey fucked around with this message at 08:02 on May 26, 2022 |

Granstein posted:I play a lot of FFXIV, and they recently went from a three month patch cycle to four, and as much as I love having four leagues a year I really think it might be something for GGG to consider with the state they've released some stuff over the last year or two. I'm sure that isn't realistic given the monetary hit, and even with the complaints I still love the game, but this fuckin patch was clearly not ready to come out of the oven. I quite agree with that. I feel like specially this "fire and forget" attitude they have about updating the leagues is quite detrimental to the game. e: this league in special, they already announced that further changes to AN will only come in 3.19 when it's clear that a lot of the balance troubles seem to be due to either lack of testing before release or more likely, they simply not addressing problems that the testers found.

Elentor posted:How do I change from my garbage ascendancy to the one where you drop two mirrors a league Hey, okay! So, my guide is ready. It didn't involve sentinels. It also doesn't involve mirrors, but something just as good, a mageblood belt. Anyway, so what you want to do is, run delirium mirror maps all day and then, on a map, on one of the first mobs, have a heavy belt drop. "Oh a heavy belt, haha, that could be a mageblood. Let's check and be disappointed," you say to yourself. Then you see that it's a mageblood and get really excited. Anyway, that's my guide. See you all next league for some more "how to be lucky as gently caress" guides from me!

They've nerfed them four times already, not sure what else you want. There's no indication that they've "given up patching" when there was one two days ago. I think they're pretty reasonable now but I'm playing on geared characters so what do I know.

I could really do with them revisiting the weighting on Toxic, Magma Barrier, and whatever that other resurrect-and-be-annoying-for-a-few-seconds archnem mod is, playing spammy-rear end orb dodge (with bonus "run away from corpses and come back later for loot") really just highlights how some of these affixes make sense when you're fighting one of them, but oops, most of the past-league content out there is "here's blues and yellows to fight"

Yeah, I'm finding the Sentinels are causing me more grief than the Archnemesis mods, although some combos of AN mods can be brutal (Consecrator + Gargantuan can go gently caress itself; kinda out of buttons to throw a Frost Bomb in my setup for the time being).

Wuxi posted:Hot take: after all these nerfs, if you still die to archnemesis all the time, its you and not the game my inquis is using tempest shield, sap and chill ontop of this and I have never ripped so much. the mods on archnem seem more manageable now (I won't miss the days of old rares having nutty overlaping auras). the combat with archnem isn't that interesting or easy to suss out. heralding minions and storm guys spawning under me just annoys me (I dunno lower the cooldown?). often I don't really know what's going while half my life disappears suddenly. I can't see half the dots on the ground that are killing me. or some cracked out guy runs at me faster than I can react/move/ran out of flame-dash. or I'm slowed by two or three difference sources while dodging juiced dude. or it's just a random guy more resistant to my build so I just kinda sigh and know it's gonna take longer to kill while it auto attacks me. I think there's a handful of interesting archnem mods, like magma shield, arcane buffer, or that weird older mod that charges up a fireball. someone commented this league is great for people who "like bossing" which is me. bosses with pretty well communicated attacks and areas of "this poo poo is bad". but now I gotta slug through achnem which makes feel terrible at the game but I didn't know about the 4 different debuffs (except the incredibly annoying slow). I dunno. my relationship status with poe is now "complicated". I do have faith GGG will sort it out eventually but definitely not this patch. maybe the lack of balance changes have really compounded the focus of my experience being "archnem is not really fun"

My favorite mob is still the crazy crossbow mob that had a combination of mobs where it was able to stunlock me because of my block. It was pretty much laying down suppressive fire to protect the rest of his friends and killed me 3 times. I respect that.

I've only played one character all league and I'm still only 92 lol because every other map I end up stacking like 8 altars and using sentinels on an entire expedition and ripping 5 portals I do think they went too far with the downsides on altars, they were way more fun last league

So my plan now this season is to go after a chase item (mageblood). I have my atlas spec'd for shrines, boxes, and excursions with enough points in eater of worlds to pick up the chance at double points towards the 28 maps for token. I made close to 7 ex yesterday including the 2 raw ex drops and 1 ex worth of shards from haggling. 7 ex in a day is probably an outlier though. Right now I think a big part of my income is from trading cards and random 10c stuff I find and dump in a sell tab. The stalker sentinels that have chance to offer a specific reward are really great. I'm thinking about maybe buying more excursion logbooks and running those but 40c is probably the break even point for profitability if I'm gonna target scythe for haggling. I could potentially target gamble lady to roll for mageblood and other high priced items. I also thought about going all in on heist but that would require a bunch of research since I've only spent one previous season getting max level and doing a few big heists before going back to mapping. I also thought about setting my atlas for favorite maps and targeting atoll or strand and just farming eater of world tokens since they are about 1ex each. The problem I've had a few days ago is that even targeting a few maps as favorites just wasn't sustaining maps but that might require some more adjustment to the atlas for map drops. I'd also have to give up seeing cortex/guardian/shaper/elder maps for frags. Anyone have any other suggestions? I know every option is going to be super saturated by others doing a better min/max job than me, but I'm only interested in being able to make meaningful progress towards a mageblood. Jazerus posted:go into delve, hit stalker sentinel at the beginning of the path between nodes, get like 5c of currency with potential for big big drops to sell, every time, very low risk What's a big big drop in delve or do you mean the sentinel drops? So far my delve monies are selling the 4 socket things and one gem fossil but I can now do lvl 83 mobs in the 150 level range so my options have opened up for targeting any and all nodes instead of just the azurite.
